A bear got into an empty car, honked the horn and then sent it rolling 38 meters into a thicket, with the bear still inside.
Seventeen-year-old Ben Story said he and his family were asleep in their home near Denver, Colorado, when the bear managed to open the door of his 2008 Toyota Corolla and climb inside.
It's not unusual for bears to open unlocked doors to cars and houses in search of food, said Tyler Baskfield of the Colorado Division of Wildlife.
"It happens all the time," he said. "They're very smart."
Once inside, the bear must have knocked the automatic transmission into neutral, sending the car rolling down the driveway and into the thicket. The door slammed shut when the car jolted to a stop, trapping the bear inside.
Police opened the door with a rope from a distance and the bear made its escape back into the woods.
